It's official: Theo Epstein is rejoining the Red Sox organization in some yet-undetermined, but full-time capacity. Is this news surprising? I've had a hunch ever since Epstein donned that gorilla suit and fled the club that he would return. Boston fans have got to be happy. This off-season, the Red Sox showed some serious wear and tear internally and it started making me think that we'd come to the end of an era. Theo will have his work cut out for him, trying to get the club back to where they stood before his departure, but I do think this is a good move by the Red Sox. Welcome back, Theo!
